This weekend was full of family and fun outdoors. We started off the weekend with a picnic at the park on Friday night with my sister and her family. Don’t let the word night fool you into thinking that the temperatures might have cooled down. It was still a sweltering 90+ degrees hence the reason why I do not make an appearance in any of the pictures from this weekend. Me sweating like a man doesn’t need to be captured for future generations. How cute are those little fluffy babies? This picture is right before Ben took one step too close and his little foot slipped into the water. He was fine…

This past weekend went way too fast, as they always seem to do.  Friday night we hung around the house and soaked up some quality family time. Once Ben was in bed J and I watched The Tourist. After debating over what movie to watch for 20 minutes we settled on this not expecting much especially since it had less than 20% on Rotten Tomatoes. Surprisingly we both thought it was pretty good. Especially the ending. You have to keep watching until the end. Saturday was reserved for clearing out the forest of weeds that decided to make their home in our front flower beds. And to keep those pesky plants…

This weekend was pretty relaxing and filled with much needed family time. I participated in the first Mid-MO Walk for Autism organized by Ella’s Hope. It was a great walk with tons of activities for kids to participate in. We also celebrated my dad’s birthday and Ben helped with blowing out the candles. I tried out a new recipe, Mississippi Mud Brownies which you can expect to see on the blog soon.

960 minutes at my work’s annual conference. 60 minutes scarfing down lunches between workshops. 30 minutes watching Mr. Hoppy entertain Ben, “I catch the bunny…and squish it!” 90 minutes eating the most delicious dinner with some fabulous girls. 112 minutes oooing and ahhhing over Jake with said girls from above. 27 minutes of pure joy that bubbles bring to a 2 year old.
